How to make the HTML link activated by clicking on the ?

Question

I have the following markup,

              
    
Something1
    


        

Answer 1

#menu li { padding: 0px; }
#menu li a { margin: 0px; display: block; width: 100%; height: 100%; }

It may need some tweaking for IE6, but that's about how you do it.

Answer 2

Use jQuery so you don't have to write inline javascript on <li> element:

$(document).ready(function(){
    $("li > a").each(function(index, value) {
        var link = $(this).attr("href");
        $(this).parent().bind("click", function() {
            location.href = link;
        });
    });
}); 

Answer 3

Anchor href link apply to li:

#menu li a {
       display:block;
    }

Answer 4

As Marineio said, you could use the onclick attribute of the <li> to change location.href, through javascript:

<li onclick="location.href='http://example';"> ... </li>

Alternatively, you could remove any margins or padding in the <li>, and add a large padding to the left side of the <a> to avoid text going over the bullet.

How to make the HTML link activated by clicking on the <li> ?

By making your link as big as your li: just move the instruction

display: block;

from li to a and you are done.

That is:

#menu li
{
    /* no more display:block; on list item */

    list-style: none;
    background: #e8eef4 url(arrow.gif) 2% 50% no-repeat;
    border: 1px solid #b2b2b2;
    padding: 0;
    margin-top: 5px;
}

#menu li a
{
    display:block; /* moved to link */
    font-weight: bold;
    text-decoration: none;
    line-height: 2.8em;
    padding-right:.5em;
    color: #696969;
}

Side note: you can remove "ul" from your two selectors: #menu is a sufficient indication except if you need to give weight to these two rules in order to override other instructions.

Answer 6

This will make whole <li> object as a link :

<li onclick="location.href='page.html';"  style="cursor:pointer;">...</li>
